    Welcome, RB! When mintmarks were hand-punched into dies, it was common for them to vary slightly to moderately by position. A wandering mintmark will not command much premium unless it is dramatically out of location ... hope you join us regularly ...

    As stated, the Mint marks were punched into the working dies by hand and were deemed acceptable within varying degrees. Here is an example of a 69-S Proof nickel with two different locations of Mint marks. This occurred on all denominations and they do not carry any premiums. Welcome to the boards....
